It's far easier to use trains without a driver, but there are very few examples around. I think it will be a long time before the public will be happy to fly on an aircraft without a pilot, or to allow unmanned large freight aircraft to overfly their homes. A brake on technological advance is frequently applied by cultural issues.

I reckon 50 years before there are regular "unmanned" commercial flights.
